I kind of lost track of the week. Things were a bit busy. We went off to the river today to throw rocks. They can do this for hours! WELCOME BACK Jana and Danny!!! There were some pretty excited boys tonight It was wonderful having this gorgeous spring weather all week.

Monday was busy. The boys went to see Karen for a couple hours, so I could do my day at the thrift store. She got Cohen on the bus and Ezra got to play at home for few hours. When Cohen got home from school, I picked them up and brought them home for naps. This kept them on their usual weekly routine, sort of...Thank you Auntie Karen!

I LOVE Sunday walks around the pond, after a LONG Sunday nap!

Grampa was actually RUNNING, trying to get the little rock collectors moving. They think they need to stockpile rocks ALL the way, to have enough to throw in the pond.

Big man, Ezra

First big rock!

Never.ever.ever enough rock tossing.

Ezra could not BELIEVE this was sitting behind the barn! uh uh uh UH UH UH UHHHHH UHHHHHH UHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! He HAD to get on.

The goat Shepard had a BUSY day. Ezra and I came in at 5 to make dinner and Cohen stayed in his goat chair for another 30 minutes. He says they NEED him!

Only 1 tragedy today. Ezra came out crying, holding his finger out to me to kiss. I kissed it and noticed how WET is was, at the SAME time Cohen let me know that, "Ezra keeps putting his fingers in the TOILET water, Gramma!". Nice. Yech.

They have been sleeping a bit later, because of the time change, but of course Cohen informed me that it CAN'T be bedtime, the sun is still up!

ALSO Ezra has started calling me, something! MAY MAY!! Close, really close... Gramma!

Jana and Danny left the boys for pretty much the first time EVER (for more than a day or 2). And went on a MUCH deserved trip to Hawaii for a week.

This is to let them see pictures of the boys, without flooding Facebook. The boys pretty much putter their way through the day. The first time I saw Cohen be sad, was this morning, He SAW them on video chat, but we could not hear them. He got really sad and wanted to call them again. SO we phoned and he was fine and went back to his new hobby "goat tending".

SO here is the flood of pictures from he first few days.

Patterning with the pegs

They love playing on the landing of the stairs.

Everybody was SO excited about Pine cone pick up day!

Throwing rocks in the water without worrying about someone falling in.

Cook and stir 3-4 minutes.Pour the sauce over and heat through. I served this over sauteed Kale. You can use sauteed zucchini or wrap in lettuce leaves. Use the vehicle of you choice! I try to make enough so I have leftovers for lunch.

If the REST of your family is not doing Whole 30, they will loved this wrapped in a warm tortilla. I wanted to blog my food everyday when I first did the Whole 30 in July. ha ha haI do enjoy making recipes "work" and trying new things.

This is a bit backwards. BUT They were all in bed at 8 last night and it did us all a world of good. Lots of rest. They had played hard outside most of the afternoon. And have been waking each other up WAY too early. Like 4 or 5 am early!

The boys were ready to rumble for school. They have been doing a great job getting ready and out to the bus on time.

These guys are pretty special. Josiah has taken on the role of "oldest guy" and I am loving the help he gives! Jordan made sure the garbage was hauled out to the road today, the MINUTE he got off the bus!!

After school I try to let them chill with a snack and then they can ease into their homework. The boys were done today by the time I had to run to school and pick Michelle up after practice.

AMAZING facts for today! Jordan can READ all these books!

Eli had ALL his homework done in 20 minutes!!!

AND Michelle and Josiah are planning to write a book together. I kind of hope 8 days at Grammas doesn't have much to do with this!

Josiah landed at a site for Science Kids. SO he did an experiment to see if eggs float in salt water.

YEP! They do!!

Michelle has been working on a photo challenge for the month on Instagram. This involves shooting "selfies" for more of the afternoon, until I need my phone back. Today was "smile". And hers IS beautiful! She has also been keeping the laundry moving along!

But she found a cool app: Sketch Guru

Then she threatened me that I may NOT hack her instagram and post photos of myself all day while she is at school. hmmmm

We are settling into a nice routine here. I am sad that the rains have returned. Michelle's fastpitch game was rained out today. Tomorrow is the make up game, and Jordans football game.
